This being Labor Day, I feel compelled to share an excerpt from my novel My Life As A Retail Pharmacist – A Fictionalized Memoir (available at amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com ). The original title for the book was Ode to Customer Service . I was told this title was too vague. The title needed to convey what the book was about. The current title does just that. Though I still have a hard time saying it without chuckling. And I wrote it!
Anyway, here is my ‘ode’?!

86. Dealing with a senior who proceeded to step over another senior having a fatal heart attack and asked how long the wait was going to be. When he was told a man was dying on the floor, he stated that he was in a hurry and couldn’t wait long. – Lauren
I read the excerpt twice. I was appalled that such an incident occurred, but never once doubted its validity. It was absurdly pathetic.
